The Impact

С начала 2020 г. в мире распространилась инфекция, вызванная вирусом SARS-CoV-2, что в дальнейшем привело к пандемии COVID-19. Долгое время вопросы ведения пациентов с новой коронавирусной инфекцией в остром периоде рассматривались как первоочередные. По мере накопления клинического опыта и данных о возбудителе новой коронавирусной инфекции стало очевидно, что проблема последствий перенесенного COVID-19 и ведения пациентов на постгоспитальном этапе является такой же важной. В силу прямой и опосредованной кардиотоксичности вируса SARS-CoV-2 особую группу риска на всех этапах составляют пациенты с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями. Поэтому одной из важных задач мирового медицинского сообщества стала разработка способов улучшения качества и прогноза жизни пациентов с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями в постковидном периоде. В статье сделан обзор наиболее крупных исследований, включая данные регистра «Анализ динамики коморбидных заболеваний пациентов, перенесших инфицирование SARS-CoV-2 (AКТИВ SARS-CoV-2)», по вопросу медикаментозной терапии пациентов с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями с акцентом на бета-адреноблокаторы и блокаторы кальциевых каналов. В представленных работах терапия бета-адреноблокаторами продемонстрировала благоприятное влияние на тяжесть течения новой коронавирусной инфекции у пациентов с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями, снижение смертности на госпитальном и в отдаленном постгоспитальном периодах. Данные по применению блокаторов кальциевых каналов изучены в меньшей степени, но можно отметить, что данная группа препаратов является одной из самых часто назначаемых в терапии пациентов с сохранением стойких жалоб на повышение артериального давления на постгоспитальном этапе. Требуется дальнейшее изучение влияния отдельных классов антигипертензивных препаратов на прогноз пациентов с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями и COVID-19. Early in 2020, the infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 emerged and caused the COVID-19 pandemic. For a long time, management of patients with the acute novel coronavirus infection was of primary importance. With accumulation of clinical information and data on the causative agents of novel coronavirus infection it became obvious that the COVID-19 consequences and post-hospital follow-up of patients are important as well. Due to the direct and mediated cardiac toxicity of SARS-CoV-2 virus, cardiovascular patients are at high risk at any stage of the disease. Therefore, one of the priorities for healthcare professionals is development of the ways to improve the quality and prognosis of life for cardiovascular patients in the post-COVID period. The article discusses large-scale studies including the data from the International Register «Analysis of Chronic Non-infectious Diseases Dynamics After COVID-19 Infection in Adult Patients» (AСTIV-SARS-CoV-2), as regards drug therapy of cardiovascular patients with a focus on beta-blockers and calcium-channel blockers. In mentioned publications, beta-blocker therapy demonstrated favourable impact on the novel coronavirus infection severity in cardiovascular patients, reduction in mortality rates during the hospital and post-hospital periods. Data on the use of calcium-channel blockers have been studied to a lesser extent; however, calcium-channel blockers are thought to be one of the most commonly prescribed groups in the therapy of patients with persistent complaints of high blood pressure at the post-hospital period. A study of the impact of some categories of antihypertensives on the outcome for cardiovascular patients with COVID-19 is warranted.

The Impact

The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of antihypertensive therapy with slow calcium-channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and ß-adrenergic receptor blockers on the metabolism and blood levels of major adrenal androgens and gonads, as well as the insulin resistance in males with arterial hypertension (AH) Ninety-one patients with AH and 15 age-matched healthy male controls were examined The hypertensive males treated with slow calcium-channel blockers or ACE inhibitors were found to have a lower level of insulin and higher levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and free testosterone on the 30th day of treatment Those on blockers were observed to have a higher level of insulin and lower levels of major adrenal and testicular androgens as compared with their baseline levels Therapy did not alter the levels of gonadotropic hormones, estradiol, and cortisol and they did not differ in the compared groups The family history of AH has a modulating effect on a hormonal response in males with AH treated with antihypertensive agents

Background: Hypertension induces systemic inflammation, but its impact on the outcome of infectious diseases like tuberculosis (TB) is unknown. Calcium channel blockers (CCB) improve TB treatment outcomes in pre-clinical models, but their effect in patients with TB remain unclear. Methods: This retrospective cohort study, including all patients > 18 years receiving treatment for culture-confirmed, drug-sensitive TB from 2000 to 2016 at the National Taiwan University Hospital, assessed the association of hypertension and CCB use with all-cause and infection-related mortality during the first 9 months of TB treatment, as well as sputum-smear microscopy and sputum-culture positivity at 2 and 6 months. Results: 1052 of the 2894 patients (36.4%) had hypertension. Multivariable analysis revealed that hypertension was associated with increased mortality due to all causes (HR 1.57, 95% confidence interval[CI], 1.23-1.99) and infections (HR 1.87, 95%CI, 1.34-2.6), but there was no statistical difference in microbiological outcomes when stratified based on hypertensive group. Dihydropyridine-CCB (DHP-CCB) use was associated with reduced all-cause mortality (HR 0.67, 95%CI: 0.45-0.98) only by univariate Cox regression. There was no association between DHP-CCB use and infection-related mortality (HR 0.78, 95%CI: 0.46-1.34) or microbiological outcomes in univariate or multivariate regression analyses. Conclusions: Patients with hypertension have increased all-cause mortality and infection-related mortality during the 9 months following TB treatment initiation. DHP-CCB use may lower all-cause mortality in TB patients with hypertension. The presence of hypertension or the use of CCB did not result in a significant change in microbiological outcomes.

Percent Response

The effectiveness of nifedipine for the treatment of acute hypertensive episodes in patients already taking chronic calcium-channel blocker therapy is unknown. We report our experience with 43 consecutive patients who received nifedipine for acute hypertensive episodes in the coronary care unit. Of the 43 patients (24 men, 19 women), 23 (53 percent) were taking chronic (>2 mo) calcium-channel blocker therapy. Nifedipine 10 mg capsules were chewed and swallowed with repeat doses given at hourly intervals if necessary. Target BP was 140/90 mm Hg, which was achieved in 31 of 43 patients (72 percent). In patients already taking calcium-channel blockers, target BP was achieved in 18 of 23 patients (78 percent). Response in patients not taking chronic calcium-channel blockers was observed in 13 of 20 patients (65 percent). Overall, adverse effects occurred in 16 of 43 patients (37 percent): 11 of 23 patients (48 percent) taking calcium-channel blockers, and 5 of 20 patients (25 percent) not taking calcium-channel blockers. Nifedipine is equally effective in lowering BP in patients taking calcium-channel blockers as it is in patients not taking them. Although associated with a higher incidence of adverse effects in patients already taking calcium-channel blockers, these effects were not considered serious. Nifedipine is an effective agent in acute hypertensive episodes, even in patients receiving chronic calcium-channel blocker therapy.

The Impact

Background Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE‐Is) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may worsen the prognosis of coronavirus disease 2019, but any association could be confounded by the cardiometabolic conditions indicating ACE‐I/ARB use. We therefore examined the impact of ACE‐Is/ARBs on respiratory tract infection outcomes. Methods and Results This cohort study included all adult patients hospitalized with influenza or pneumonia from 2005 to 2018 in Denmark using population‐based medical databases. Thirty‐day mortality and risk of admission to the intensive care unit in ACE‐Is/ARBs users was compared with nonusers and with users of calcium channel blockers. We used propensity scores to handle confounding and computed propensity score‐weighted risks, risk differences (RDs), and risk ratios (RRs). Of 568 019 patients hospitalized with influenza or pneumonia, 100 278 were ACE‐I/ARB users and 37 961 were users of calcium channel blockers. In propensity score‐weighted analyses, ACE‐I/ARB users had marginally lower 30‐day mortality than users of calcium channel blockers (13.9% versus 14.5%; RD, −0.6%; 95% CI, −1.0 to −0.1; RR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.93–0.99), and a lower risk of admission to the intensive care unit (8.0% versus 9.6%; RD, −1.6%; 95% CI, −2.0 to −1.2; RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.80–0.87). Compared with nonusers, current ACE‐I/ARB users had lower mortality (RD, −2.4%; 95% CI, −2.8 to −2.0; RR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.83–0.87), but similar risk of admission to the intensive care unit (RD, 0.4%; 95% CI, 0.0–0.7; RR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.00–1.09). Conclusions Among patients with influenza or pneumonia, ACE‐I/ARB users had no increased risk of admission to the intensive care unit and slightly reduced mortality after controlling for confounding.
